A systematic calibration approach is presented to correlate the digital output of an infrared camera and the scene temperature. Aided by the optoelectronic properties of the camera, as few as two experimental data points are needed to establish this correlation. This approach can readily include the effects of atmospheric transmission, scene emissivity, and different background subtractions. Hence, the temperature conversion in flight can be reliably obtained from laboratory calibration. The conversion function can also be used to identify the camera's thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution, which are important information in different space missions. In applying this calibration procedure to a laboratory camera and the compact thermal imager onboard the International Space Station, its validity is confirmed.

The effects of 1 % xanthan gum (XG) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) on the physicochemical and structural properties of triticale gluten (TG) during fermentation were investigated. Rheological analysis revealed that the addition of XG or HPMC decreased G' and G″ values, while increasing tanδ and recovery strain of triticale gluten during fermentation. Thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrated that triticale gluten added with XG after fermentation exhibited the highest residual mass, showing a 9.

Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are gaining attention as a robust security solution for identification in the expanding Internet of Things (IoT). To enhance the security and functionality of PUFs, integrating multiple optical responses─such as fluorescence and structural color─into a single system is essential. These diverse optical properties enable multilevel authentication, where different layers of security can be verified under varying light conditions, greatly reducing the risk of counterfeiting.
